The problem with all of this is that when MS' auth servers are no longer available (either due to them pulling the plug or, wait for it, DDoS attacks) you can't play your games anymore. This is my biggest concern.

Oh also, whether or not a game can be shared is left up to the individual publishers. I'm not so naive to believe that publishers won't go for the strictest set of rules available under the guise of "improving the experience for gamers".

No, the charging of fees when transferring a license is up to the developers. The sharing is a MS dealio , using their servers.

Microsoft is allegedly paying many third-party publishers so that they won't show off their PlayStation 4 games at E3 2013, according to a new report.
E3 2013, the most important games convention out there, is set to begin next week, and both Microsoft and Sony are expected to focus heavily on their next-gen consoles, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, respectively.
In order to gain the upper hand on Sony, Microsoft is apparently resorting to some unorthodox practices, like paying a lot of money to third-party publishers so that they won't show their PlayStation 4 games either on stage or at their actual booths.
The report arrives from a source on NeoGAF, which posted a lot of true rumors in the past, so it's possible that Microsoft really is resorting to such tactics ahead of E3 2013.
The company emphasized that at the event it's going to focus only on games for the Xbox One, so it could try to create a false sense that more games are coming to Xbox One than PS4.

Hmmm, MicroSoft is really doing everything to ingratiate itself.
Don't think I've ever seen such a PR clusterfuck for a new console.
There will be early adopters just for the fuck of it of course, but I expect a large chunk of their customer base will wait it out until significant concessions are made, and a realistic sense of what services gamers and media users require sinks in again.

Why is it called the Xbox One?
Because it's 359 steps backwards.

Yes indeed. Most of those games are actually indie games, which can exist on the PC eco-system because there's no nazi overlords that decide what can and cannot be released for the platform.r3t wrote:One word: Steam.
